Mike Williamson (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Williamson is a "hold the fort" kind of guy.  Good enough to help you stay mid table but a guy you'd look to upgrade if you want to climb higher.  I think he'd be better if he had a little more bulk.  He's kind of thin and looks to get pushed around a fair bit which is why he's not a real threat to get on the end of set pieces.  Too bad he got hurt, though.  He and Colo have been an effective partnership.

They said he done his arm in the gym, must have been pushing 5kg dumbells and his arm snapped.

It would have to be an exercise that required coordination, like kettlebell swings

Squad for this weekend is quite something. We're pretty much going to collapse over the line.

Deserves a lot of praise for a brilliant debut season in the Premiership. :thup: Happy to see him as a starting CB next season alongside Colo. Still learning and (for a CB) still quite young at 27.

Agree, he's done well this season.

Not much different to what we've been playing with all season though, is it? ???

Yeah, still lost Ireland, Harper and Williamson in the last few

weeks plus I'd hoped that we might see Gosling or HBA before the season was out.

Brilliant? Woah there horsey. He's been steady, nothing more.

 

For a debut season at CB in this division, I'd say it was brilliant and surpassed the expectations of many who thought he'd be overwhelmed. There have been four or five matches where his detractors have practically rejoiced at his mistakes so they could all pile on with their "I told you so"s and "Championship defender" comments, but over the course of the season he's performed very, very well. "Steady" seems pejorative/inaccurate - deserves more credit than that.
